I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

California, don't forget to vote on Prop 50. Turnout is expected to be low, and we can't afford to unilaterally disarm while rightwingers pack congress.

The military is supposed to be able to refuse illegal orders. They did not refuse, so, they are accountable for mass murders.

Boat strikes put US service members in legal jeopardy:

"Some junior officers have asked military lawyers, known as judge advocates general or JAGs, for written sign-off before taking part in strikes .... It does not appear that such memos were furnished, said one of the people."
Top Democrats demand details of spy agencies’ role in boat strikes
Democrats are demanding that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard share intelligence on lethal operations against alleged narcotics traffickers.

Former Navy JAG here

If I had gotten that request, my answer would have been:

“Foxtrot. November.

There is no legal authority for simply blowing up a boat because you believe it is involved in a crime.

Particularly not in international waters.

If the vessel is not a declared enemy combatant,

Democratic governors know how to lead, deliver and fight for working families. Fantastic to be in Monroe with my friend Governor Shapiro this morning, firing voters up for the home stretch of this fight. 9 days and a wake up — let's land this thing, New Jersey.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

Meiselas: We’re 24 days into the government shutdown, and Trump left the country — the first president in U.S. history to leave the country during a shutdown.

This, while food lines are being seen throughout the United States. This is Trump’s America. Food lines like we saw in COVID are back.

Not surprisingly, most of the U.S. tariffs are being paid by American companies and consumers — NOT by foreign exporters.

Wouldn’t he just raid the treasury as much as he wants?
Or, more frightening, would he declare dollars null & void and replace money with crypto?

THIS is exactly what they have been working towards.
Trump does not need nor want a congress. He wants to rule autocratically. A thinking, working congress would just get in his way. Any congressional elections are just play acting. It has begun.

Dem governors should declare their state’s Republican congresspersons seats as Vacant due to shutdown & them not showing up to work & no federal representation.

State governors call for special election for those seats.
Flip the House.
Governors have the power, Who cares what R's say. do it.
